"but this Cambrian quartzite, when it gradually passes over into light colored greenist
of Wales, that weathers pillarish. On the
sandstone surfaces occur large fucriod casts
and round brown holes but these are not
Solithus. These holes also occur in the
Lignitine (see the two overall specimens).
These scales are some hundreds of feet
thick (?300 to 400).
Then comes in a thick series of thin
and thich redded earths and pure limistone
with zones of sand at mix. There are also
arenaceous limestone, they are separated
by shale goes but how well developed I
did not make out in the northward slope.
All of the limestones carry comminuted trilo-
bites and usually in the greater profusion.
We found one fine fossil - some near
the base, near the middle, and at the
Top. Ransom took out a lot of good
trilobits. He after so to 100 feet of
limestone are pillarish in color.
